Barbecue food safety
Many friends and colleagues have called sick because of the food poisoning and follow with something like "I had a BBQ at the weekend, and I must have been eating properly cooked something".
To be honest I think some of you probably only too drunk, but it is obvious enough of a belief out there that hygiene is a problem with a grill for a real day of work or an apology from cast iron.
In many of the BBQ articles Ive written have I concentrated focused "sizzle is hot, flames arent" the phrase to the need to be patient and the grill flame to control. If however you have yet mastered this point then maybe it is time to withdraw from the contract to purchase a barbecue thermometer?
Why do I need a BBQ Thermometer? Take this barbecue Hamburg example:
Many people assume that when Grilled Hamburger is brown in the Middle it done well is Brown, but according to the USDA Research 1 every 4 hamburger, turns before reaching a safe internal temperature. The internal temperature to 160 ° F before his safe food.
The bacterium which we try is to protect us against e-coli and bacteria, to live on the surface of meat. This is an important and essential to understand because we can happily eat a rare steak without any chance of food poisoning. Unless well cooked the steak on the outside, the bacteria are killed.
This is not the case with a hamburger, but because the burgers from minced meat surface is made could be bacteria everywhere within the hamburger.
The signs and symptoms of food borne disease ranging from upset stomach, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps and dehydration, severe disease even death, but everything had said, please dont be put off, some hamburgers at your next BBQ Cookout. With a few simple precautions that follow the rules of the basic food hygiene and barbecue food poisoning are a thing of the past.
Use a food thermometer. Instant-read thermometer foods are good for control of the temperature in the direction of end of the cooking time.
(1) The food thermometer in the thickest part of the food be placed and should not affect bone, fat or cartilage.
2. Ensure that clean your food thermometer with hot, soapy water before and after each use!
The other option is a large oven safe or use oven probe dial thermometers and they can be inserted into the flesh and used for the duration of the cooking.
There are many types of food thermometer, it is important to ensure the correct reading the instructions for your food thermometer. If he happy with method of using minimum safe in the USDA recommended internal temperatures to a secure barbeque Cookout ensure.

· Ground beef - 160 ° F

This is the most important but to do, here are a few other tips help you at your next BBQ food poisoning to avoid.

Acorns A Major North American Native Food
leaching to get rid of the tannin. Many of us dont like the California live oak because "its too much work for the amount of meal you get compared to the amount of leaching you have to do," "its got no character," "too wormy," or "its too easy to get -- nothing that plentiful can be very good." The list goes on and on. My favorite is the Black Oak ... with a little Tan Oak added for character.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Read these instructions at least twice before you start baking…then follow the instructions to a "T". This is one cake you shouldn’t experiment with.
1 cup of cake flour
1 ½ cups white sugar (divided)
12 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375°. Be sure that your 10” (two piece) angel food pan is TOTALLY FREE of any grease or oil and it needs to be an angel food pan that is NOT Teflon coated. Make sure your mixing bowl, beaters and mixing spoons are all totally grease free. Remember, grease is the enemy when making an angel food cake because the cake is mostly egg whites. The cake needs to “grab onto” the sides of the pan in order for it to raise, and if there is grease (or Teflon), it can’t do that.
Do ahead: Sift 1 cup of CAKE flour with ¾ cup of white sugar and set aside.
In a large bowl, whip the egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt with an electric mixer, on high, until you get medium peaks (it takes about five minutes). Continue to whip and SLOWLY add ¾ cup of the sugar into the whites. Continue beating until the whites get to the stiff peak stage.
Next FOLD the flour/sugar combo into the whipped egg whites a tablespoon at a time. Make sure you FOLD, this mixture into the egg whites, DO NOT use mixer to do this and DO NOT stir. Gently fold from top to bottom. This process is necessary so you do not deflate the egg whites.
Put the batter into the angel food pan and smooth the top a little. Bake for 45 minutes. When the cake is done, the top will spring back just a little when you lightly touch it and the cake top will be dry to the touch. Remove from oven and immediately invert the pan and cool for a couple of hours. To remove the cooled cake from the pan, use a long slender bladed knife (I like my bread knife) and run it around the sides of the pan in small sawing motions. Next do the same around the center tube of the pan. Lift the cake out and run your knife under the cake, it should then life right off of the pan.
NOTE: Separate your egg whites into a small bowl before you add them to your mixing bowl so you don’t get ANY yolks into the batter.
NOTE: Save the yolks in a clean jar in the fridge. They will be good for a couple days at least.
NOTE: I usually run my utensils through the hottest dishwasher setting before I make this recipe, to insure they are totally grease free.
I hope I haven’t scared you away from trying this cake. It is delicious and worth every bit of effort.
